A Shelby Township man has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies stemming back to a 2015 conviction for running a bogus mortgage scheme.

Steven Ruza, 54, pleaded guilty to one count of intent to pass false title, a 10-year felony, and one count of falsely certifying a driver's license, a five-year felony, according to a Thursday news release from Attorney General Bill Schuette's office.

Ruza is currently serving 40 months to 20 years in prison and owes $348,025 in restitution.

In 2015, he was sentenced to one year in county jail and five years of probation for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from clients seeking help with mortgage foreclosures.

The Department of AG was informed this year that Ruza was hiding money to avoid paying restitution. An investigation found he had a fraudulent Michigan driver's license, made with a stolen identity, and that he had falsified a car title application with the state – both criminal violations of his probation.
